So does modern society... or can you show me a society that is not build and currently maintain by a slave labor force?
What's your point here, Drich, that your upbringing was so morally deficient that you don't realize that two wrongs don't make a right? Christians will go to any lengths to excuse the implicit condonement of slavery in the bible. Your red herrings do nothing to evade the larger point, which is that if the bible clearly condones a moral evil, then it is obviously not the product of a perfectly moral being. The claim that the bible is from God is a sham, and its stance on slavery shows that. All your tap dancing and mealy mouthed verbal gymnastics cannot evade this point. You worship a book that is based on the thoughts of men. It is not of the divine. You've simply elevated it to that status through mere belief. There is no evidence that the bible is from God, and there is good evidence that it isn't.
